Anjana, OHSU is where I really want to go. My mother on the other hand
thinks that if a bone marrow transplant is inevitable, then we should
go to Hutch. She thinks that since I have a local oncologist and a doc

Hi Germaine,
The Hutch is a transplant center, you should certainly consult there
if you are seriously considering a transplant. I would recommend OHSU
or MD Anderson Cancer Center for an unbiased medical opinion. How
about Oregon Health Sciences University at Portland, Oregon and Dr.

Sandy,
I fired my first onco doc, but found a great group in Louisville. I have an appointment on the 22nd of this month for a doc here in Cincinnati because I am tired of the two hour one way drive to Louisville. If this doc works out I plan on switching to him. My main concern is the way they c
Terry & Germaine, I know what you mean about nurses and Doctors needing people skills.When my husband we Dx last year,His white count was 290,000.The Dr. on call at the ER just came in and said well it looks like leukemia,and I think you probably only have about 3 months to live!!! Point blank,we w
Oh man,
That nurse reminds me of the one that told me about my White Cell count before I was first dx'ed with CML. I was at work and she called me with my blood work results. At first the way she was acting I thought I had an STD..hehe(Oh boy my ex would have had some explaining to do if that had
Thank you everyone for your opinions, I feel much better knowing it

sounded like my results were horrible. She made it sound like they

As the others have mentioned, doesn't seem like your test results are
that bad. I suspect that you don't need a BMT, but if it turned out
that you do, make sure that you go to one of the few BMT centers that
specializes in seniors (you said you were on Medicare). I'm treated at

Germaine:
Hi, if you are at Emory in Atlanta, that's where my favorite hem/onc
went and his name is Dr. Hannah Khoury. He's a great doctor and very
knowledgeable about CML. He left here (St. Louis, Mo,) in Aug. of 2004
to set up a unit at Emory like we have here at Siteman Cancer Center in
St.
I have to totally agree with what everyone else has said. Go to a major clinic before getting that BMT. Hang in there and keep us updated.

Dear Germaine,
As Trey has pointed out, what is the evidence of the second
chromosomal abnormality? Is it that the 2 cells out of 20 cells that
showed abnormality is not showing the Ph chromosome abnormality but
another chromosomal abnormality? That would explain the difference
between FISH a
So far you have some good news (your FISH is negative, and cytogenics
are down, so those say you are improving). You also have some
questionable news (someone says they suspect another abnormality, but
is it really based on your test results or just speculation?). I would
wait to see what the 25
I would recommend a Major Medical Center. I go to MD Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston, I would highly recommend it. I have met people that
have transferred treatment there from all over the Country and alot of
foreign Countries. Good Luck,
I will be praying for you.

It would be a good idea to go to a major CML center before even thinking of a transplant.RobOn 9/12/06, gbengston <
